Chapter 288: Wolframite Discovery
"Naldo, it's time for dinner, it's time to eat."
"No, I'd like to dig a little longer." Nardor struck the tin ore with a pickaxe, knocking out one side of the tin ore on the surface, revealing a charcoal-black stone surface with yellowish-brown streaks on the surface, full of metallic luster.
"It doesn't seem like tin ore?" Naldo reached out and touched the charcoal black ore, his eyes suspicious.
He was a Templar prisoner of war and was currently one of the students of the Pin Class, but unfortunately the Leons were all suspended, and he didn't know when it would be the turn of the Leons to take classes, and Alan was going to teach the Minotaurs in the near future.
Naldo subconsciously thinks that they have no use value, so Alan turns his attention to the Minotaur prisoners of war.
Naldo really wanted to hear Allen lectures, and in order to return to the classroom, he wanted to make a valuable contribution and prove that he was still useful.
It took a lot of effort for him to break up a piece of the black charcoal-colored ore, put it in his pocket, and prepared to hand it over to his superiors to verify what kind of mine it was.
If it's a new ore, he'll be a big contributor.
In this way, Naldo took the black ore to the open-air canteen outside the mine, where there would be people boiling mushy rice and rice rice, and for the most industrious groups of the day there would be white rice porridge, and the worse groups would only drink bitter mushy rice.
"Naldo, come on."
As soon as Naldo arrived at the open-air cafeteria, he was called by a cat-eared orc.
"These minotaurs are your colleagues, we will mine together, you teach them to dig for two or three days, digging is good white rice porridge, digging is not good to eat mush, how about it, are you willing." The foreman patted Naldo on the shoulder.
Naldo was the most eager student to take classes, and the foreman saw that he was so diligent and studious, so he naturally took care of him.
As long as everyone works hard for Tomorrow City, the cat-eared orcs are not unkind people, so they can be accommodating.
Naldo patted his chest, "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" ”
"Well, let's go down." Foreman Ma Jie was satisfied.
Since the old priest died, the foreman Ma Jie felt that the job of monitoring the orc mining was a bit boring, and recently thought of studying hard at school to try to get a better job.
According to Allen, it is to achieve a higher value in life.
"Wait, I found a strange ore at cassiterite, it may be a new mine, please identify it."
Naldo was not in a hurry to leave, and seeing that Ma Jie was relatively idle, he took out the charcoal black ore he had just dug up.
"Oh, I'll see......" Ma Jie took it and touched it, looked at it carefully, and was not very sure.
"I'll show it to Lord Allen, if it's a new ore, you have merit."
"Okay, thank you, Master Majie."
Naldo smiled happily, the first step was successful, and the next step was just waiting for Alan.
In the past month, some people have dug up new ore and sent it to Allen for identification, but most of the identification results have failed, and they are not new ores.
There are also ores that are new and are rewarded with white rice porridge for a few days, the kind that has pork.
The smell of meat was a recipe for food that spoiled the rest of the Templars and inspired the rest of the orcs to work.
Nardo couldn't help but drool at the thought of the reward of the porridge.
After eating the white rice porridge, Naldo returned to work in the mines, teaching the new minotaurs to mine.
"Mining is a heavy physical work, but it doesn't mean that we have to use all our strength on the pickaxe, first learn from me a few mining action essentials of mining, this is the scientific mining posture invented by Lord Allen according to the human body structure, which can effectively reduce muscle fatigue and damage......"
Naldo taught him very seriously, but the minotaurs did not appreciate it, and shouted: "The minotaurs will never be slaves!" ”
Looking at a group of slightly resistant minotaurs, it is a bit laborious to teach, and it is not very easy to teach.
Now the minotaurs have not fully felt the charm of Allen, and it is normal to resist a little.
Later, when the foreman whipped the minotaur with a whip and pulled out blood marks, the minotaur felt even more resistant, saying that he would never submit to tyranny.
Then the foreman picked up the scissors, made a clicking sound, and then gestured with his hand to the crotch.
The bull-headed people tightened their crotches, and a chill rushed to their hearts, and they immediately shouted: "Dig now, dig now!" ”
Naldo was speechless, these minotaurs are really afraid of softness, can't they just be soft as soon as possible, and they have to take out scissors and threaten.
……
That night, Alan was about to leave work and received a black charcoal-colored ore from Ma Jie.
"Lord Allen, this is an ore dug by a certain lionman, and it is suspected to be a new ore."
Ma Jie took out a black charcoal-colored ore, the surface of the ore had a metallic color and yellow-brown streaks.
"I'll see."
Alan secretly launched the identification technique, and the results were as follows:
"[Ordinary wolframite ore]: This is a wolframite ore, the main element tungsten, the melting point is as high as 3400 degrees Celsius, and the electrical conductivity is higher than that of nickel-iron, phosphor bronze platinum...... It can be used to make electric filaments, high-speed alloy steels, superhard molds, optical instruments, chemical instruments, etc. ”
Seeing the words wolframite, Alan sighed, and his face was happy.
Ma Jie saw Allen's expression and knew that there was a play, and secretly looked forward to it.
"Lord Allen, is this a new ore?"
"Well, this is wolframite, how many finished products are there?" Alan flipped left and right, and saw that this wolframite ore was a fist-sized black ore, indicating that the other party had dug up a wolframite vein.
"There are a lot of them, I looked at them with Naldo, and I dug up a black charcoal-colored mine wall, and the streaks are very distinctive, and I think there is a high probability of a new mine, so I sent it that night." Ma Jie said happily.
"Nardo is a Templar, you can put aside your preconceptions and not erase his credit, yes."
Alan couldn't help but look at Ma Jie a few more times, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man to the cat clan had grown up, and he didn't hate the lion clan as much as before.
Thinking that the old priest was pumped by Ma Jie every day, Alan was really worried that this guy would not be able to integrate into the multi-ethnic Tomorrow City.
Ma Jie scratched his head and smiled innocently.
Alan put wolframite in his pocket and said, "That's wolframite, you can assign three hundred people to dig new mines, send them to the chemistry room, and use them in the future." ”
"Yes!" Ma Jie heard that 300 people were digging new mines and knew that new mines were important.
There are 4,000 miners in the southern mines, and 300 is a large base.
After Ma Jie left, Windsor also came over and asked curiously: "Wolframite can extract tungsten, right?" ”
"Yes, tungsten can be used as a filament, and it can also be mixed into steel to make high-speed alloy steel, which is very useful."
"What is a filament?" Windsor wondered.
"Filament is a product of the next stage of science and technology, and it needs electrical energy." Alan smiled.
Windsor had never seen an electric filament and couldn't understand it, so she could only grab the words she knew and ask: "Is electricity related to thunder and lightning, do we want to capture thunder and lightning?" ”
This sentence came out of her mouth, and even Windsor herself couldn't believe it.
Thunder and lightning are the authority of the gods, can mortals grasp it?
